Dagexcursie in Petra vanuit Aqaba
Beschrijving
De stad Petra, de hoofdstad van de Nabateese Arabieren, is een van de beroemdste archeologische vindplaatsen ter wereld. Het ligt 240 km ten zuiden van de hoofdstad Amman en 120 km ten noorden van de stad Aqaba aan de Rode Zee. Petra, het wereldwonder is ongetwijfeld de meest waardevolle schat van Jordanië en de grootste toeristische attractie, en wordt bezocht door toeristen van over de hele wereld. Het is niet precies bekend wanneer Petra werd gebouwd, maar de stad begon te bloeien als de hoofdstad van het Nabataean-rijk vanaf de 1e eeuw voor Christus, dat rijk werd door de handel in wierook, mirre en specerijen. Petra werd later bij het Romeinse rijk gevoegd en bleef bloeien totdat een grote aardbeving in 363 na Christus een groot deel van de stad in de 4e eeuw na Christus verwoestte.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
We halen je op van overal in Aqaba en rijden naar Petra met een korte stop onderweg. Het duurt ongeveer 2 uur om het bezoekerscentrum van Petra te bereiken, waar we onze wandeltocht naar het 8e wereldwonder beginnen. Na 800 m lopen bereiken we Siq (een rotskanaal van 1200 meter lang, 3 tot 12 meter breed en tot 80 meter hoog). De Siq opent zich naar Petra's meest magnifieke façade - de Schatkamer, of Al Khazna. Na de Schatkamer verbreedt het pad zich tot een brede Straat van Gevels, aan weerszijden geflankeerd door de graven die de hele site kenmerken. De Straat van Gevels leidt ons naar het theater met 5000 zitplaatsen, uitgehouwen in het midden van een groot begraafplaatsgebied: tegenover het theater aan de westelijke kant van Jebel Khubtha bereiken we ons laatste punt - Koninklijke Tombes. Na een rondleiding door de Koninklijke Tombes, terug naar Aqaba. De overige vier uur zijn voor transport.

I had an absolutely great experience.Loiy organized a mile ride and to take me to Wati Rum in the afternoon. Everything was seamless. I saw it all. Thank you. It was expensive but my time was critical. And so worth it😁
Overall the driver was very helpful, honest & clear , he saved us from a bunch of drivers who looked greedy and we definitely recommend this driver & his tours , we did tours in aqaba , even during the crisis in middle east ,he was helpful and didn't take advantage of us.
Great experience. Very good and nice driver!🤙🤙
The best way to see Petra !!! "We had an incredible day exploring Petra, and it was all thanks to Loiy Ekrayyem Hayel Al-Mawadieh. Not only was he a safe and professional driver, but he also shared fascinating history about Jordan during the drive. He knew exactly when to arrive to beat the tour bus crowds and recommended a fantastic local restaurant that we never would have found on our own. He made our trip stress-free and truly memorable. 10/10 would recommend!"
Excellent Driver! Comfortable ride. Knowledgeable Driver! Highly recommend. Very timely! Entertaining! Thank you O!
The Petra experience was an awesome trip from start to finish. Our driver Odai Hamideh "What's apped" us several days prior to the day of the trip to confirm the pickup location and time. His time was flexible because he asked us what time did we want to leave. Also we stayed in Aqaba outside of the pickup zone and he still was able to pickup us for a small fee. Once we got to Petra Odai recommended to take us around to the back entrance and go in there and end up at the main entrance when we were finished. That was a great idea because we got to see more and did not have to backtrack. Once we entered Petra we hired donkeys to take us up to the monestary and back. That was great because we covered more ground quicker. After that we continued our way through Petra taking in all of the beautiful structures along the way. Once we arrived at the Treasury we took a club car back to the entrance and that was recommended by our driver also. This is a remarkable place to visit and pictures do not do any justice. My advice is to enter in the back of Petra take the donkey for a distance and continue making your way to the main entrance because you can see more with less walking. Trip of a Lifetime!
AMAZING!! it was incredible... Petra is so breathtaking and well worth the walk! Our driver was really friendly spoke great english and was happy to stop as and when we needed. He suggested dropping us off at the end of the city, to walk back into petra, so we could see ALL of the sites not just the main treasury ( India Jones!). This took about 3hrs as a leisurely pace and saved us having to walk back another 3hrs! We were lucky, it wasn't busy at all. We got there at midday! Take plenty of water, as it's pretty dear there! There are plenty of toilets along the way to and little shops for last minute snacks. You pick up a map and follow it to see all 13 sights. Super easy! We got the Jordan pass, so this was included saving us the 50JD fee. The little market outside wasn't too pushy and let you look at leasure. As in all a fantastic day out and we'll worth the money. 10/10!
He was an awesome ride and suggested another route to take in Petra, his suggestion made our trip a whole lot better and enjoyable! I 100% recommend taking this trip!
Very helpful, respectful and knowledgeable driver. I recommend Mr. Odai to be your host in Aqaba. Очень рекомендую я Одая. Отличный водитель, всё объяснил и показал в Акабе.
The trip was very beautiful. We stayed at the Ayla Hotel and it was very beautiful. We visited Wadi Rum and Petra with a wonderful transportation service and the workers were nice, respectful and patient with us.
